About
Paul O’Dette’s newly recorded personal selection of favourite pieces from the pinnacle of lute repertoire by 'the Liszt of the lute'. Many of these pieces are melancholy but consistently lovely, enhanced by Paul O'Dette's new lute: a 2008 8-course by Malcolm Prior, after Sixtus Rauwolf, Augsburg 1590. O'Dette's 5-cd set of John Dowland was awarded no less than 5 Diaspasons and is due for reissue in the near future. His next release will be of Giovanni Antonio Terzi [1580-1620] provisionally titled 'Unplayable chords'.

It's music through which he's grown and which has grown in him so that this beautifully assembled anthology isn't so much a compendium of 'greatest hits'...rather it's a beguiling progress report on O'Dette's continuing journey.
Early Music Review October 2014
a spirited performance. I always enjoy listening to O’Dette.
September 2014
inspired and inspirational. A considerable amount of [virtuosity].
Audiophile Audition 24th December 2014
the sound is generous, engaging and exquisite, like O’Dette’s playing, detailed and utterly unforced and natural, with just the right amount of touch on the strings and an ambient warmth that allows O’Dette to magically stretch phrases, whether sad or happy, across bar lines. It is a very heady experience.
